Bay Coffee & Tea Company
19020 N Mckinley Dr, Tampa, FL
Crema's Take
“Bay Coffee & Tea Company is a convenient airport pit stop in Tampa Terminal A with a dedicated seating area and accessible tables, though it's worth being realistic about what to expect from the food offerings. Their espresso drinks and cold brew are serviceable for a quick caffeine fix, but reviewers consistently warn against the pastries and sandwiches, which tend to disappoint with quality that doesn't match the premium airport pricing. If you're catching a flight and need a reliable coffee in a quiet spot, it'll do the job—just skip the food and grab your drink.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Bait and switch. You won't get the beautiful sandwich shown on the board. You will get a flat hot panini. No lettuce. No tomato. No mayo. No mustard or anything good. When asked, they said they don't have the cold sandwiches anymore. Had to choke it down since it was all I had.…
I ordered an iced latte with oatmilk. Let’s just start with the oat milk being $1.25 so my drink totaled about $7 with tax. I know it’s the airport but damn, it better be good you think? Nope. It tasted like watered down milk. I couldn’t taste espresso at all. I might as well…
Avoid the chocolate muffins at all cost even if they're handing them out for free just say no! They are so dense and dry you could throw it at someone and knock them out. Also I tried the banana and exchange it was slightly better but still not what you think of. The girl at the…
Great quiet coffee and pastry stop at Tampa Airport terminal A with its own seating, accessible tables and chairs, some high tops and right across the airport walkway from some great lounge chairs. SO many pastries and hugest muffins that go great with coffee stirred with almond…
